3:2 (1:0, 1:0, 0:2)
Spartak Moscow
Monday 06.01.2014, 18:00 • Druzhba Palace of Sports • KHL
     
    A rather average game came to life in the last few minutes of the third period with those two late Spartak goals, but Maxim Yakutsenia made sure that Donbass weren't to be denied the win! The visitors for their efforts still take a point away however, Donbass get the two. Dmitriy Kagarlitskiy opened up the scoring right at the end of the first period, before at the start of the second Evgeniy Dadonov made it two. Spartak came to life with two very late goals from Pavel Medvedev and Oleg Kvasha, but Yakutsenia was just too good. Thanks for following the game with us, and join us tomorrow for a busy day of KHL action! (20:18:40)

    Kaspar this time tries to rid Donbass of their nerves, but once again Glass is equal to it and he freezes the puck
